7,700 Pounds of Maximum Available Towing

Available trailering technology can make towing easier and more confident, while the available Tow/Haul drive mode adjusts performance when pulling a trailer or carrying a heavy load.

Actual towing capacity depends on the model, configuration and equipment, so our team can help you select a Colorado properly equipped for your towing needs.

Every 2026 Chevy Colorado is powered by a 2.7L TurboMax® four-cylinder engine producing 310 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of best-in-class standard torque.

That strong low-end torque helps the Colorado deliver responsive acceleration, confident towing and dependable capability without requiring an engine upgrade. It is ready to handle busy Houston highways, demanding jobsites and challenging terrain right from the start.

The TurboMax engine is paired with an enhanced eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive performance.
